Rome Artifact Rocker Decade Snowboard Men's

New board called soundtrack of park lap generationWHAT IT LIKES: Handrails; jib lines in the park; nose pressing the fun box; buttering into spins; 5-0s; blunts; skate-style; sunny afternoons in the park; pow days in the park; old-school grabs

Experience:
The board I tested was the 2011 Artifact Rocker but I can no longer find it on Trusnow's site and doubt much has changed much beside the graphics.
Anyway I am 175cm 80kg riding a 153cm, so I'm a little heavy for the board.
Board felt like it was already broken in from the first ride. Very soft easy to flick around and press, decent pop with your nollies and ollies.
This board is great for flatland tricks, very good for beginners to practice on and great for intermediate riders too.
Previously riding a stiff cambered board jumping on this one made it a lot easier to do my presses and roll overs.
In the park it was great on boxes, having zero camber in the centre of the board makes it easy to 180 and 360 over the boxes. Having reversed camber on the nose and tail makes it easy to press on the boxes too. Rails were fine as long as you didn't land on the rail straight into a frontside or backside grind as the bounce in the flex made it hard to keep balance, 50/50 was fine.
The board doesn't do too well in icey conditions, I haven't played with many edge angles but being a reversed camber board with very soft flex I didn't expect it to do too well.
Board also doesn't like steep black runs or bumpy runs with lots of moguls. The flex tends to bounce you off balance.
Similar situation with big jumps, if you're off slightly and land a little on the tail it will tend to bounce you off balance.
All in all it is a great board and I highly recommend it as a board to have as part of a collection.
Its not good as an all rounder, but it does what it was designed to do very well.
When I want to go charging down the mountain this board won't do, so you'll still need another board for the days you feel the need for speed, but if you're just playing around going slow then this is for you.
